The executive board of the Woman's
club has arranged an interesting pro
gram for the present club year. Every
two weeks this club holds au open or
general session which is in charge, gen
erally, of the leader of some one of the
departments. This meeting is open to
the members of every department and to
the public for the nominal admission fee
of 10 cents. The following program will
show the variety and attractiveness of
the topics chosen for discussion:
October 0 Introductory social.
October 23 Special program, to be
decided later.
November 6 Henry P. Eamea, Shake
pere recital.
November 20 Special program.
December 4 Child study, Mrs. Abel(

The officers have arranged an intro
ductory ftieMlo'g td-be'tfeid October 9; At
the club rooms in the Salsbury block on
wiiich occasion the leaders of the de
partments will give the outline of plans
of work for the year. This will be fol
lowed with reminiscences of the summer
vacation, a' social and light refreshments.
It is the desire of this club to give
greater prominence to social features
this year. Light refreshments will be
served at the close of the program, thus
inducing the ladies to linger and chat
and get better acquainted. In as. large
a body as the woman's club it is difficult
to become acquainted to the degree of
sociability without remaining after the
close 'of the program for a general chut.
Leaders of deportments are requested to
hand in their oucliues by November 1
f ir the new year boo which will bo
issued as soon as possible. Also all
members, or those wishing to become
members are asked to tend their names
and addretseB to the prrBideel or secre
tary immediately in order that all may
be correc ly registered in the new ear
book. IbestunduiK committees for this
year are: Rmhh commit tee, 'Mrsdauiee

"The Settlement of New York will be
the topic of the first meeting which will
be held October 12 at the dull rooms to
which all members and visitors will be
heartily welcomed. Much to the regret
of this department Mias Tremaine has
resigned her position pa leader. Miss
Brackett was the unanimous choice of
the department aa her successor.
The literature department of the
Woman's club has prepared a very at
tractive and interesting year's work.
The first half of each meeting will be
devoted to reviews and discussions of
popular current fiction, especially those
works which reveal the characteristics
of a country or a people. An interest
ing list of books has been selected
among which are: No. 5 John Street, by
Richard Whiteing; Red Rock, by Nel
son Page; Deephaven, by MlsK Wllkins;
Stories of a Western Town, by Octave
Thanet; Rope of Dutcher's Coolly, by
Hamlin Garland; Seats of the Mighty,
by Parker; Kentucky Cardinal; by Jas,
Lane Allen; Janice Meredith, by P. L.
Ford; Hugh Wynne, by Mitchell; Strong
Heart9, by Cable; Caleb West, by Smith;
The Lilac Sunhonnet, by Crockett, and
David Harum, by Wescott. ,
As it was the unanimous wish of the
class to continue tbestndy of Browning,
the last half of the meeting will be de
voted to the study of "Return of the
DruBes." Miss Harriet Towne, instruc
tor in the Lincoln high school 1b the
efficient leaoer of this department, Mrs.
Hibner assistant leader, and Mr. E. G.
King secretary.
As long as the clubs of Nebraska send
a dolegate to the general federation not
one of them can afford not to helong on
account of expense for the nominal fee
of ten cents per capita. The club of
twenty members has only a fee of $2.00.
The next biennial will be held at Mil
waukee; within such easy distance that
Nebraska Bhould be represented by a
large delegation, and thus enter into the
national life and enthusiasm which the
general federation creates.
At a special bueiuees session of the
Hall in the Grove which was held at the
home of Mra. F. S. Stein last Friday,
Mrs. H. M. Bushnell was elected presi
dent and Mrs. Mohler secretary and
treasurer. This dub has planned a de
lightful course of study of Italy for the
coming year. The first regular, meeting
will be held October 13 at the .home of
Mrs. H. M, Garten.
The Woman's club of Omaha opened
the seaeon with a very delightful and
entertaining program laBt Monday.
After the president's address the after
noon was devoted to a peace program in
rtsponeo to a call issued by Julia Ward
Howe at the annual conference at
Boston to all similar organizations re
questing them to hold meetings in the
fall for the purpose of brioging this
subject before the people.
The annuril address of the president,
Mrs. Henrietta Smith, was received
with attentive appreciation. After a
brief resume of the club's work in
which she dwelt upon the natural evolu
tion of the club idea, Mrs. Smith out
lined the plans of tho Omaha club for
tho coming year, and urgbd the mem.
bers to bear in mind that "privileges
imply obligations. Mrs. Smith spoke
of tho enlargement of educational op
portunities the past quarter of a century
which places higher education among
the possibilities for all. However she
claimed that, all were not adapted to. re
ceive tho erudition bb outlined in the
coilegeu iirricuiuin, but that practical
cdui'iuii.n was ready tt hand for all who
will seek it. tine miulo a strong plea for
practical study saying thut it had boon
th, tendency to lotirn for the ploiiHuro
and aggrandizement of self, but that
such selfish ends are looked upon
today aa something like tho miaer'
greed for gold;uOne should acquire
learning for the purpose of .using it Mi
not to increase Aboard. .
She told what the colleges ,woro doing
for girls, what the clubs were doing for
buay women and claimed that recipro
city waa the keynote of club life. She
briefly referred to the achievement of
women's clubs in' art, .industry, .political
science,' philanthropy and other line 0(
political work, and -teals ted that women
were doing 'all this. .with an energy
hitherto unemployed. She no longer
wished to see women's clubs listoj ai
fads, but placed upon the list of per
manent organizations.
Then the session waa placed in the
hands of Mrs. H. D. Neely, chairman of
peace program committee. Thio com
mittee had arranged a very interesting
symposium of peace events aa follows:
The call, Mrs. Jeffries; the place, Mrs.
Charlton; assembling organization, ,
method of business, Mrs. Towl; our
American delegates, other prominent
men, M!bb McCarthy; nationalism, Mra.
Fleming; some incidents, Mrs. Herring,
A summary of the conference was given
by Mrs. A. J.Sawyer of Lincoln, who in
her usually exhaustive and masterly
way summed up the situation acd
mado some seasonable and practical
suggestions.
The musical divertisement of the
afternoon was of a high and enjoyable
character. Rudyard Kipling s "Re.
ceesional," by the double quartet, Mre.
Ely, Mrs. Neely, and Messrs. Hazelton,
Burkley, Willis and Stryker, Mesdamea
Boulter and Earhart being especially
noteworthy. The accompanists were
Miss Boulter, piano, and Mrs. Ford,

The newly installed president of the
